<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> JavaScriptGetTimeFunction </title> </head> <body> <h1> JavaScriptgetTimeFunction Example </h1> <script> var dt = Date("December 22, 2002 10:11:43"); document.write("Date and Time : " + dt); document.write("Time using getTime(): " + dt.getTime()); </script> </body> </html>
